European businesses have always taken a different approach to infrastructure. Unlike many U.S. enterprises that default to a single cloud provider, European organizations prioritize flexibility. They distribute workloads across cloud, on-prem, and edge environments to maintain control, improve performance, and uphold data sovereignty.
I’ve already written about how compliance requirements are growing stricter, costs are rising, and control has become non-negotiable. Today, I want to talk specifically about how our partnership with TrueFullstaq can make a difference for European businesses that need simplified, secure, and scalable Kubernetes infrastructure.
As companies shift to hybrid and on-prem strategies, they are facing a new set of problems:
- Shortage of in-house Kubernetes expertise, as experts can be difficult to find and expensive to employ
- Inconsistent management across cloud, edge, and on-prem environments, causing
- High operational costs, particularly cloud costs, due to inflexibility and vendor lock-in
- Security concerns in cloud-native systems under regulatory pressure
Our clients need a simplified, secure, and scalable Kubernetes infrastructure. That’s what our partnership with TrueFullstaq delivers. Here’s how we can provide European organizations with end-to-end infrastructure and hands-on support.
Simple, Powerful Kubernetes Delivery
Sidero provides the technical foundation with Talos Linux and Omni. Talos Linux is a minimal, immutable operating system purpose-built for Kubernetes. It removes SSH and shell access, prevents configuration drift, and enforces security with TrustedBoot. Omni is the centralized management layer, able to automate cluster provisioning, upgrades, and operations across any environment. With Talos Linux and Omni, everything is API-driven and aligns with cloud-native best practices.
TrueFullstaq ensures fast, frictionless adoption. Their team handles implementation, provides local support across Europe, and helps companies go from prototype to production without hiring dedicated Kubernetes specialists. Businesses save time, reduce errors, and launch infrastructure that’s ready to scale.
Reducing the need for in-house Kubernetes expertise
Most Kubernetes solutions require deep in-house knowledge. Talos Linux and Omni break that pattern.
Talos Linux simplifies the OS by reducing the number of system binaries from thousands to fewer than 50, creating the smallest possible attack surface. Omni further reduces barriers by allowing teams to manage infrastructure through a single binary or container, no Kubernetes experience required. Unlike Cluster API-based solutions, Omni doesn’t rely on spinning up a full Kubernetes cluster just to get started.
This means businesses can onboard and enable existing team members without hiring expensive platform engineers, making cluster creation, management, and upgrades accessible to more team members.
Fully Hybrid, Consistent Management
Talos Linux is purpose-built for hybrid infrastructure, enabling teams to build consistent infrastructure across cloud, edge, and on-prem environments without additional efforts.
Security features like KubeSpan automate network-level encryption using WireGuard, so clusters can communicate securely across environments without manual configuration. This simplifies the process of building distributed systems while maintaining full control of your network and data flow.
TrueFullstaq brings deep cloud native expertise that many businesses lack. Their team works closely with clients to align infrastructure design with operational goals, so teams are able to understand their options, build technically sound systems, and apply cloud-native methods in practical, scalable ways. This ensures that the infrastructure deployed is not only functional but also usable and valuable in day-to-day operations.
Reducing High Operational Costs
Infrastructure management is getting more expensive due to both cloud billing models and growing team requirements. We provide access to infrastructure that is affordable by design and help you tackle these growing costs.
By reducing the need for Kubernetes knowledge, Talos Linux and Omni allow businesses to utilize existing teams and expand the pool of users beyond dedicated experts. The solution also reduces the required amount of toil, for example, reducing maintenance time by up to 66%. Built for hybrid, Talos Linux and Omni also provide businesses with unprecedented flexibility. For example, we’ve seen bare metal combined with cloud bursting cut infrastructure costs by 90%.
TrueFullstaq amplifies this impact with implementation support and architectural guidance, ensuring businesses get up and running fast.
Built and Continually Improved for Security
Talos Linux is not a stripped-down version of another OS. It’s built from scratch for Kubernetes, line by line, with a focus on security and simplicity.
It has no SSH and no shell, removing common vectors for compromise and configuration drift. It’s fully immutable and is currently the only OS of its kind that provides out-of-the-box 3-step chain of trust security with Trusted Boot. This ensures that all executed code comes from a trusted source. It also comes complete with Kernel Self-Protection Project (KSPP) and Omni is uniquely designed so that Kubernetes cannot be revealed, completely removing this common source of trouble.
And our partnership with TrueFullstaq brings this level of security right to your doorstep.
Reliable, Scalable Kubernetes Without Complexity
With the support of TrueFullstaq, businesses in Europe get simple, direct access to modern Kubernetes infrastructure. The result? They can easily deploy and manage thousands of Kubernetes clusters without building a custom platform or hiring a platform team.
